NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation VS Sheer Glow

Hi Darlings,

I need a new foundation and I like high end foundations, that being said I’m SOOOO picky when it comes to them and I don’t like to waste money that I don’t have buying a lot of them.

So every time I go to Sephora I ask for a few samples that I can test on my skin before getting them because sadly in Italy you can’t return make up. Last time I tried the Dior Forever Undercover Foundation but it didn’t work for my skin.

Since I’m the biggest Nars fan I decided to try the Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation and compare it with the Sheer Glow. The first one just recently launched the other is a cult product, but this is the first time I try both.

When I say I’m picky with my foundation it means that I like MATT Finish and SHEER Coverage which is pretty much impossible to find. I can count on one hand the foundations I love.

I can say one of these won the battle and I will buy the full size, keep reading to find out which one is the my favourite!

Review:

Applied it with a wet sponge, with NYX Angel Veil Primer underneath and powder on top. I have the shade Deauville which is slightly too yellow for me.

I liked the finish at the beginning of the day, it’s natural and looks like skin, it sets and it’s not sticky, it’s not particularly matt. Concealer and Powders work well on top of it.

After a 2 hours of wear I had to blot the excess oil, which is pretty standard for me.

Through the day the foundation kept rubbing off my skin and went a little bit patchy. After 8 hours of wear it was 60% gone, it sunk into my pores and looked shiny and patchy.

Overall I’m not the biggest fan of this foundation, it’s a bit too full coverage for my tastes but it looks super natural on the skin. It looks nice at the beginning but through the day my natural oils came out and broke it apart. It definitely doesn’t last 16 hours and it’s not transfer proof. The shade is a bit too yellow for me but I find that most shades in this range have a strong yellow undertone.

Review:

Applied it with a wet sponge, with NYX Angel Veil Primer underneath and powder on top. I have the shade Deauville which is a perfect match.

I liked the finish it’s not glowy at all actually I think it’s more satin/matt, it’s natural and looks like skin, it sets and it’s not stick, it has nice light/medium coverage. Concealer and Powders work well on top of it.

After a 2 hours of wear I had to blot the excess oil, which is pretty standard for me.

Through the day it got a bit oilier but nothing that I don’t normally experience, I liked the coverage a lot, it evened out my complexion without looking like foundation which is exactly what I want.

After 8 hours of wear it was 60% gone, but it didn’t sink into my pores, it looked shiny but not particularly patchy.

This is the one, I like the coverage and the matt/satin finish. Although I got the same shade this one was not as yellow and matched me perfectly. My only complain is that I wish it lasted a bit longer and didn’t get as oily but I can totally blot it like I do with every other foundation. I love it so much. Definitely buying the full size.

I really hope you guys enjoyed it, don’t forget to like, comment and share to let me know all your thoughts and if you have any question.

Thank you very much for making this battle review. I have wanted to try Natural Long Wear one, but I must say that the Sheer Glow one is so far my favourite foundation ever! I’ve just had a little noise around you blog and I’m really enjoying it so far. Hope you’ll have a great weekend xx

Foundation is always a struggle for me! I finally find one I like, and then I can’t find it again when I want a refill. I will definitely have to try the “sample method” next time I’m shopping for foundation.

I have never tried this foundation. I am super picky as well when it comes to purchasing them. I like more full coverage and makeup that stays in place all day. This was a great review though if I do look into another foundation in the future!
